Well my challenge of a block a day for December very nearly turned to custard today with ED coming down with a nasty bug. Two small children needed looking after but as she should have been at work they were booked into daycare for the day.
Because her hubby was away with work I did the Ganma thing of dropping them off and then picking them up and getting them to bed.

Driving into town the first time, I had to rethink my day's block. The one I'd wanted to do, I couldn't find the pattern for first thing this morning; also it would have been quite time consuming to make.
I will be doing different blocks every day and they will be for a variety of projects etc etc. I'm hoping this whole exercise will stimulate me in an exciting sort of way!!
After the daycare drop off I went home and had time for a bit of gardening (new seedlings bought) and an hour for some sewing.
Out came the scrappy sprouts. They were pretty fresh in my mind so I knew where I was heading with them.

Making these is pretty straight forward - and you cant help but make two blocks at the same time.
Placed on the wall with the previous ones —
ED was feeling better this evening by the time I left, so I hope she's even better tomorrow. And that two small children sleep all night for her!
'til next time,
happy stitches,
Now that is an accomplishment! Goal met and dealing with the grands as well. Well done. Love the blocks! Glad the Mum is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many "seed sprout" quilts this past year and they all look quite different in the end it seems
ReplyDeleteYou did it, and will continue to be successful, I'm sure, even if you have to repeat a block for a few days at some point. Just think of how much you will have accomplished by month's end!!
ReplyDeleteNice work! xx
ReplyDeleteVery effective sprout blocks - I'm thinking they may be a good choice for me for the RSC Challenge 2021. Hope your daughter did recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteGrowing and in all colors!!! A successful farm girl can make all things bloom and flourish :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope ED recovers quickly. It was very convenient that you had a block you could quickly put together.
ReplyDeleteShe’s lucky to have you there to help out. I love these sprouts.
ReplyDeleteLovely you could help ED and I hope she’s feeling better today..
ReplyDeleteI like those Sprout Blocks , well done on making one .....
The blue sprouts look wonderful, well done, I hope RED is much better and the children slept through for her.
ReplyDeleteGlad ED is feeling better and love the blue sprouts.....good recovery from your plan versus what you were able to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteThis block has worked in well considering how your plans changed. Looking great.
